I'm going to Wake Forest golf camp for the second year in a row a week from tomorrow. Last year, the camp was very fun, so that's the main reason i'm returning. However, they completely changed my swing last year so i had the shanks for the next two weeks after camp had ended. I can't afford that this year, because i have a USGA Junior Am qualifier on the 30th, a tourney in NY on July 1, and a tourney back here in VA on july 7. What should i do? should i just ask them to help me sharpen my short game, should i take note of what they are telling me but not make any drastic changes until later?

in my bag
driver: r9 with Fujikura Motore 65g stiff shaft
3w-5w: Sz with stock shafts (aldila hm) stiff
irons(3-pw): s59 stiff
wedges: 52deg. rac satin vokey spin milled 56deg. putter: xg9ball: b330rx

After camp, did you stick with the swing changes or go back to your old swing?

I would not be afraid to ask why the instructors want you to change your swing...basically tell them to analyze your current swing first and give you a instructional gameplan before barking swing change orders at you. Then you can decide if these changes are too large right now.

R7 TP 8.5* Fuji Speeder x-stiff (heavy,low,fade set)
975F 3W 13.5*
FX Tour Grind Nickel 3-PW +1/2", Rifle 6.5
Vokey SW 52*
CG10 LW 60* 3 dot (14* bounce) Tracy putter 35" (hit R but putt L)+ 1 club TBD...Past home courses: Unicorn GC (Stoneham, MA), Forest Creek GC (Round Rock, TX)Ball: Use...

the hardest thing was changing the grip.....that's the hardest thing to get used to

Yeah, go for the short game, if you can. If these guys are giving every camper a "one swing fits all" method of instruction, explain what happened last year and why you can't change it this year, and if they still insist on the swing change, ask for your money back.
